Tom Crudgington – Founder and Owner
Tom is a highly experienced personal trainer who has evolved into a strength coach helping many athletes achieve new personal bests on the track/field as well as in the weights room. He feels he has made this transformation while studying with Charles Poliquin and Andre Benoit and thanks them both for their help and support.
Tom has an extensive background in various martial arts, and holds black belts in Karate and Wing Chun Kung Fu, has coached Thai Boxing to international standard and coached mixed martial arts to various national champions and elite military units. He is a former fighter himself and has competed in national championships and fought in the states. Tom is deeply thankful to his mentor Steve Morris and encourages all those interested in real martial arts to look at Steve’s site:

In 2 years he assisted former England International Rugby Star Steve Ojomoh to bring St Brendans 6th Form College to win both the British Colleges Plate and the Bristol schools Cup in the 07-08 year. The first time the college Rugby team had won a major national competition in over a decade.
